Sasha Phyars-Burgess

February 24, 2020 @ 7:00-9:00 pm at Oak Park Public Library Main Branch

Experience Sasha Phyars-Burgess' UNTITLED, a photographic exploration of race, class, and space in one of Chicago’s largest neighborhoods—Austin. Beginning in the late 1960s, Austin, on the city’s West side, experienced dramatic demographic changes due to white flight, redlining, and economic disinvestment. Phyars-Burgess' photography captures the ongoing effects of these changes and the everyday lives of Austin residents.
